I have a whirlpool electric dryer model DWSR-ELE-2406028 when the dryer is running it makes a very loud sound . It sounds like a train . Could the drum be loose? Is this repairable ?

look on inside of back cover

If you have to wiggle the timer knob to make it run most likely you will have to replace the timer & they are expensive. Check all the wires going to the timer & make sure they are not loose & making a good connection.You may luck out I've seen that happen , timers are hard to repair some of them you can't .Hope this helps

might want to check your lint filter. After that check your exhaust tubing incase lint has escaped into the exhaust tubing. This stuff can catch on fire if it gets out free or stuck in your dryer tube.

This should help:

If the lid switch is defective, the washer will not function or work at all. It is located inside the washer main housing near the door frame. When you close the door, the switch is activated by an actuator. You have to raise or open the top or front panel of the machine to reach the switch. Replace if found defective.

sounds like start switch on motor bad.
